> This argument is significantly weakened when simply removing the meaningless macros and adding whitespace improves readability.

I disagree wholeheartedly. Whitespace tends to move code further away from the code that uses it; scrolling and tab-flipping requires the developer hold that code in their head where it is most likely to degrade. It is much much better to make them remember as little as possible.

It also helps reuse: If you don't scroll, you can see more code, so you can see if something is a good candidate for abstracting, just because you can see them doing the same thing.

Macros like this help with that, and so they aren't "meaningless". Less whitespace helps with that, and so it actually improves readability (to those who have to read it!).

The trade-off is that you can't hire someone with "C" on their CV and expect them to be productive on their first day, but in a complex codebase, this might not be possible for other reasons.
This view is over-simplistic. Many—perhaps most—products are designed to serve more than one kind of user.

Obvious example: building an e-commerce platform. The merchant is a kind of user. The customer is a different kind of user on that same platform. Yes, they're humans, but they're not doing the same thing.

Any B2B or B2C type product will have at least two very distinct roles like that. And in those cases, arguing that everyone is just a person as a sort of moral position is destructively vague. It's more difficult to serve someone's needs if you can't start to narrow down what they're trying to accomplish.

While I totally agree with the sentiment that we shouldn't conflate personhood identically with their role in a product, solving useful problems does require that you de-scope and discretize the interactions a bit.
Measuring trust requires a threat model of sorts.

I trust my neighbors not to steal my stuff. I don't trust them not to narc on me. If they do narc on my I trust the city to realize that's a dumb use of resources. But I don't trust the state to be so smart.

How often have you heard something along the lines of "I'm not worried my kids will be kidnapped, I'm worried some jerk will call the cops if I let them walk to the park on their own"?
I'm not so sure. I mainly used the airpods as a mic for Zoom calls so the content is voice either way. The quality degradation is drastic enough that I don't even try to use the Airpods on my computer for voice calls anymore. However, they're still my go-to for use with my phone and it doesn't seem nearly as bad there. Yes, they have different modes for mic on vs mic off but on my phone they are usable.
I like Linode personally.

That said, be aware that true rowers hate some of this stuff because you can actually hurt people through various kinds of repetitive motion injuries if you don't teach, promote and highlight proper technique.

> Our dev tier was configured to allow impersonation of all users for testing purposes, and the attacker eventually finds a URL that allows them to elevate their privilege level to that of a Community Manager (CM)

> After attempting to access some URLs, to which this level of access does not allow, they use account recovery to attempt to recover access to a developer’s account (a higher privilege level again) but are unable to intercept the email that was sent. However, there is a route on dev that can show email content to CMs and they use this to obtain the magic link used to reset credentials.

Many of these debugging tools are great for devs to test things quickly but I've always felt very weary of having these exist in an app without some strict access control with 2FA. Ideally you'd not have them in the app at all, maybe just on local dev.

Québec taxpayers actually made money with the deal, strangely enough.

Bombardier basically split the CSeries program from it's main division and placed all assets (factories, IP for the plane) in a separate company. The government then invested in that company and got shares in return. So it's really more like VC.

These shares also get a part of the profits from the CSeries and the government can sell them if it wishes.

> What is a non-special interest? Business interests.

Ironically, business interests are the original special interests that Adam Smith warned about: “The interest of the dealers, however, in any particular branch of trade or manufactures, is always in some respects different from, and even opposite to, that of the public. To widen the market and to narrow the competition, is always the interest of the dealers. To widen the market may frequently be agreeable enough to the interest of the public; but to narrow the competition must always be against it, and can serve only to enable the dealers, by raising their profits above what they naturally would be, to levy, for their own benefit, an absurd tax upon the rest of their fellow-citizens. The proposal of any new law or regulation of commerce which comes from this order ought always to be listened to with great precaution, and ought never to be adopted till after having been long and carefully examined, not only with the most scrupulous, but with the most suspicious attention. It comes from an order of men whose interest is never exactly the same with that of the public, who have generally an interest to deceive and even to oppress the public, and who accordingly have, upon many occasions, both deceived and oppressed it.” (Wealth of Nations, Book I, Chapter 9)

There are two ways to do clinical trials on vaccine effectiveness. One is to vaccinate someone and then deliberately infect them; this gives you good data quickly, but due to the deadliness of COVID-19, this is generally regarded to not be an option. Another is to vaccinate a very large number of people and wait to see if they get sick with the virus from natural exposure. This is ongoing right now on a very large scale; millions of people have been vaccinated, and sooner or later people will come in contact with these new variants. However, it takes time to collect enough data with this approach to provide useful results, and in this case it can be confounded by the lack of a control group (you don't know how many exposure events happened that did not lead to infections).

Regardless, the current vaccination campaign is highly effective against the original - still very widespread and deadly - virus, so it's worth getting it, and as people get vaccinated with it, it will eventually be apparent whether it works against various variants as well. If it doesn't, it's likely that a booster vaccination can be developed for these variants (and indeed, Moderna has begun work, as an insurance policy, on a booster for the south african variant).

I have a tacx bike, no rower at the moment, but I get on them every time I'm at the gym.

I think the smart bike and rower are very different in terms of what you'd do with them. In contrast to a smart bike a rower who constantly adjusts is much harder to use. In fact on low resistance rowers are almost impossible to use. It's also much easier than on the bike to row at a specific wattage without ever adjusting the resistance (mind you that requires some technique).

That seems stretch. People are getting accounts cancelled on online services they use, where the companies feel they may be morally or legally complicit in the message, or their employees, who decide they don't want to employ that person. I don't think most "cancelled" people are worried about their grocery stores not accepting them, or any number of other services where they aren't a platform used to further the behavior people are upset about.

If you got eyes that required the internet to function you made a poor and dangerous choice regardless of whether the public or some company wants to punish you for some perceived public behavior. If you got eyes that required some company on the internet's continued acceptance of you as a client, you made an even worse choice.

There's a substantial lag, though, between finding out how infectious a variant is and how deadly it is (AIUI the rough averages are 2 weeks from infection to hospitalization and another 2 weeks from hospitalization to deaths, but that might have changed). That means that the data on how infectious a variant is becomes available ~1month ahead of information about how dangerous it is. Have we even had confirmed spread of these variants for a month?

This was annoying to me - a nerd - and a bad teaching moment for my parents - computer illiterates - that just learned to click "OK" to add new permissions, so that they could use the password manager again, without really knowing "why".

This was the perfect storm of s**t choices by all involved.

The browsers - rather than disabling the extension, should have just kept the old permissions and fail/ask for new permissions for the .5% of people that will be using the native application to enable biometric unlocking.

Bitwarden - knowing that Firefox didn't allow this permission to be optional - should have held back until Firefox did implement it, or simply should have disabled the feature on Firefox.

Jesse Alama here. If you bought a book from me but are unsatisfied, I'm happy to refund you. If you found my stuff unhelpful, let me know what's missing and I can try to include a discussion of that in the next edition. Just write me offline. Or write to the group, or visit us (or me) in the Racket Slack.

I wrote my stuff to help people get into web development with Racket. I love web devel, and Racket, too. You and I have a lot in common: I found the official docs puzzling, so I worked out my own approach to them and made _Server: Racket_. It should go without saying that that's the origin story of just about every paid book out there on applications of programming language X to domain Y. That's not even a criticism of the Racket docs. Plenty of tools/languages also have good docs, and there are lots of books, too. How many Django books (or even courses) are out there?

There are also some great web programming tutorials out there for Racket, too. I recommend this one, by Racket star Jens Axel Søgaard: https://github.com/soegaard/web-tutorial .

I hope you'd give Racket a chance. Since you're talking about it, it sounds like you're dipping your toes in the waters. I'm pretty sure you'll find them quite welcoming. That said, all this negativity is pretty off-putting.
We already have an oligarchy. They control the government, and can get laws passed the poors cannot.

- focus just on investment and profit
- improve society ie noblesse oblige
- compete for public honor, ie holding high office

I'm not suggesting their is one answer, but given the rich hold such sway over government, I definitely don't think they can sit back and enjoy their high tariff burgundy while we have riots in the streets, first from the left and now the right.

> if it ends up being less effective at protecting the humans inside

Of course. Who cares if you can just reset the flywheel (as opposed to scrapping the crumpled car) if you still have to scrap the people off of the dashboard?

My whole point is that there are devices like this one that may be more effective, given some R&D, but that get neglected.

Let me put forward another, perhaps less physically controversial, example: the "Rolomite".

> Rolamite is a technology for very low friction bearings developed by Sandia National Laboratories in the 1960s. It is the only elementary machine discovered in the twentieth century and can be used in various ways such as a component in switches, thermostats, valves, pumps, and clutches, among others.

> The Rolamite was invented by Sandia engineer Donald F. Wilkes and was patented on June 24, 1969. It was discovered while Wilkes was working on a miniature device to detect small changes in the inertia of a small mass. After testing an S-shaped metal foil, which he found to be unstable to support surfaces, the engineer inserted rollers into the S-shaped bends of the band, producing a mechanical assembly that has very low friction in one direction and high stiffness transversely. It became known as Rolamite.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolamite

Or the Hilsch-Ranque vortex tube:

> The vortex tube, also known as the Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube, is a mechanical device that separates a compressed gas into hot and cold streams. The gas emerging from the "hot" end can reach temperatures of 200 °C (392 °F), and the gas emerging from the "cold end" can reach −50 °C (−58 °F). It has no moving parts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_tube

Now these you can actually buy. They sell little ones that go on the end of an air compressor hose to deliver "spot cold" as it's called. I once emailed a company who makes them to ask what would happen if you set it up so that the cold (or hot) output chilled (or heated) the incoming air, would you get a feedback loop? But they weren't interested.

The vortex tube is less efficient than a heat pump, so there are good reasons not to use it in every potential application, but I feel that there are good applications that go completely unrealized. That's my original point. Just because some cool technology exists doesn't guarantee that it will be used well, or at all.

I rowed in college and have countless hours on concept 2 rowers. Outside of very specific drills I picked one weight setting and stuck with it. If I wanted to vary the difficulty I just rowed faster.

I don't think varying the weight is good for your form and it could be dangerous for your back if your form is bad. After all, you can't vary the resistance of water in a real boat (I suppose you could pour gelatin in a lake). Intensity could be varied just by changing the stroke rate.

One thing I've always wondered about when it comes to new process design at smaller scale: how much actual quantum mechanics is actually needed to get the job done?

And ... if the answer is, as I suspect, a lot, what kind of numerical methods and processes are used to design and simulate these tiny quantum mechanical machines?

[EDIT] I mean, when taking a basic QM course, there is a lot of contorsions to try and find analytical solutions to the Schrödinger equation, but as soon as you have three particle interacting with each other, analytical methods run into a wall.

Am I right to think that sub-10nm process design is all done numerically?

Anyone who happens to work on this type of problems care to give pointers?
I don't really know enough to refute it, but this seems deeply and bizarrely wrong. It doesn't account for transistor count or density just the size of the entire chip? With pipelining I don't think a signal has to travel across the entire chip every cycle. It also doesn't really address the question above, since single core CPU speeds haven't increased in 15 years even though transistors have kept getting smaller and closer together.

Seems like an intriguing napkin math limit/simplification though, I'd be interested if anyone could elaborate on if there's any substance to it.
